India to push for extradition treaty with Bangladesh
Anisur Rahman Dhaka, Aug 30 (PTI) India will push for an extradition treaty with Bangladesh and seek cooperation on security and border management issues during the Home Secretary-level talks, which kicked off here today.
Extradition treaty and mutual legal assistance on criminal matters to deal with security issues are among the proposals put forth by New Delhi, Home Secretary Madukar Gupta said before the parleys.
At the two-day talks, other issues to figure include security and border management. These issues are of prime concerns to India in the wake of evidence put forth by New Delhi on the presence of prominent northeastern militant leaders in Bangladesh.
Asked about the extradition treaty, Gupta said "we will discuss it at the meeting and let you know the outcome tomorrow when the talks conclude." "We have a broad range of issues including security and border management and we will discuss all those in our meeting," Gupta said.
Officials said they are expecting the two sides to come up with solutions on a number of outstanding matters concerning both the countries.
During the deliberations, New Delhi is likely to give Dhaka evidence on the involvement of Bangladesh-based outfits like HuJI and its nationals in terror acts, including Hyderabad blasts, and seek action against them. PTI
